phenylurea in the treatment of cancers. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to methods of inhibiting PDGFR kinases and treating cancers and disorders associated with inhibition of PDGFR kinases including lung adenocarcinoma, squamous cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, pediatric glioma, astrocytomas, sarcomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), malignant peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma, intimal sarcomas, hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophilia- associated acute myeloid leukemia, idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, chronic eosinophilic leukemia or lymphoblastic T-cell lymphoma.

Background of the Invention

[3] Oncogenic genomic alterations of PDGFRa kinase or overexpression of PDGFRa kinase have been shown to be causative of human cancers.

[4] Missense mutations of PDGFRa kinase have been shown to be causative of a subset of GISTs. PDGFRa mutations are oncogenic drivers in approximately 8-10% of GISTs (Corless, Modern Pathology 2014; 27:S1-16). The predominant PDGFRa mutation is exon 18 D842V, although other exon 18 mutations including D846Y, N848K, and Y849K, and exon 18 insertion-deletion mutations (INDELs) including RD841-842KI, DI842-843-IM, and HDSN845- 848P have also been reported. Furthermore, rare mutations in PDGFRa exons 12 and 14 have also been reported (Corless et al, J. Clinical Oncology 2005;23:5357-64).

[5] The PDGFRa exon 18 deletion mutations AD842-H845 and AI843-D846 have been reported in GIST (Lasota et al, Laboratory Investigation 2004;84:874-83).

[6] Amplification or mutations of PDGRFa have been described in human tissues of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) (Holtkamp et al, Carcinogenesis 2006;27:664-71).

[7] Amplification of PDGFRa has been described in multiple skin lesions of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (Osio et al, J. Cutan Pathol 2017;44:477-79) and in intimal sarcoma (Zhao et al, Genes Chromosomes and Cancer, 2002; 34: 48-57; Dewaele et al, Cancer Res 2010; 70: 7304-14).

Amplification of PDGFRa has been linked to a subset of lung cancer patients. 4ql2, containing the PDGFRa gene locus, is amplified in 3-7% of lung adenocarcinomas and 8-10% of lung squamous cell carcinomas (Ramos et al, Cancer Biol Ther. 2009; 8: 2042-50; Heist et al, J Thorac Oncol. 2012; 7: 924-33).

[8] Mutations in the IDH protein produce a new onco-metabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate, which interferes with iron-dependent hydroxylases, including the TET family of 5'- methylcytosine hydroxylases. TET enzymes catalyze a key step in the removal of DNA methylation. Flavahan et al demonstrated that human IDH mutant gliomas exhibit hypermethylation at DNA cohesin and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)-binding sites, compromising binding of this methylation-sensitive insulator protein (Flavahan et al., Nature 2016;529:110). Reduced CTCF binding is associated with loss of insulation between topological domains and aberrant gene activation. Specifically, loss of CTCF at a domain boundary permits a constitutive enhancer to interact aberrantly with the receptor tyrosine kinase gene PDGFRA, a prominent glioma oncogene. Thus, IDH mutated cancers can be predisposed to mediate oncogenic events through activation and overexpression of wild type PDGFRa.

[9] PDGFRa amplification is common in pediatric and adult high- grade astrocytomas and identified a poor prognostic group in IDH1 mutant glioblastoma. PDGFRa amplification was frequent in pediatric (29.3%) and adult (20.9%) tumors. PDGFRa amplification was reported to increase with grade and in particular to be associated with a less favorable prognosis in IDH1 mutant de novo GBMs (Phillips et al, Brain Pathology, 2013;23:565-73).

[10] The PDGFRa locus in PZXiFRa-amplified gliomas has been demonstrated to present a PDGFRa. exon 8,9 intragenic deletion rearrangement. This intragenic deletion was common, being present in 40% of the glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs) presenting with PDGFRa amplification. Tumors with this rearrangement displayed histologic features of oligodendroglioma, and the PDGFRa exon 8,9 intragenic deletion showed constitutively elevated tyrosine kinase activity (Ozawa et al, Genes and Development 2010; 24:2205-18).

[11] The FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion protein is oncogenic in a subset of patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (Elling et al, Blood 2011;117;2935). FIP1L1- PDGFRa fusion has also been identified in eosinophilia-associated acute myeloid leukemia and lymphoblastic T-cell lymphoma (Metzgeroth et al, Leukemia 2007;21 : 1183-88).

[12] In summary, mutations, deletions, rearrangements, and amplification of the PDGFRa gene are linked to a number of solid and hematological cancers. Given the complex function of the PDGRFa gene and the potential utility for PDGFRa inhibitors in the treatment of various solid and hematological cancers, there is a need for inhibitors with good therapeutic properties.

[57] In using the pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds described herein, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid forms include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets and suppositories. The powders and tablets may be comprised of from about 5 to about 95 percent active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are known in the art, e.g., magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar or lactose. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and methods of manufacture for various compositions may be found in A. Gennaro (ed.), Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, (1990), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[58] Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. For example, water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection or addition of sweeteners and opacifiers for oral solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Liquid form preparations may also include solutions for intranasal administration.

[59] Liquid, particularly injectable, compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolution, dispersion, etc. For example, the disclosed compound is dissolved in or mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, and the like, to thereby form an injectable isotonic solution or suspension. Proteins such as albumin, chylomicron particles, or serum proteins can be used to solubilize the disclosed compounds.

[60] Parental injectable administration is generally used for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injections and infusions. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions or solid forms suitable for dissolving in liquid prior to injection.

[61] Aerosol preparations suitable for inhalation may also be used. These preparations may include solutions and solids in powder form, which may be in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as an inert compressed gas, e.g., nitrogen.

[62] Also contemplated for use are solid form preparations that are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions.

Combination Therapies

[63] As previously noted, the compounds described herein can be used alone or in combination with other agents. For example, the compounds can be administered together with a cancer targeted therapeutic agent, cancer-targeted biological, immune checkpoint inhibitor, or a chemotherapeutic agent. In another embodiment compound A or B can be used alone or singularly. The agent can be administered together with or sequentially with a compound described herein in a combination therapy.

[64] Combination therapy can be achieved by administering two or more agents, each of which is formulated and administered separately, or by administering two or more agents in a single formulation. Other combinations are also encompassed by combination therapy. For example, two agents can be formulated together and administered in conjunction with a separate formulation containing a third agent. While the two or more agents in the combination therapy can be administered simultaneously, they need not be. For example, administration of a first agent (or combination of agents) can precede administration of a second agent (or combination of agents) by minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Thus, the two or more agents can be administered within minutes of each other or within 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 24 hours of each other or within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 days of each other or within 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or weeks of each other. In some cases even longer intervals are possible. While in many cases it is desirable that the two or more agents used in a combination therapy be present in within the patient's body at the same time, this need not be so.

[65] Combination therapy can also include two or more administrations of one or more of the agents used in the combination using different sequencing of the component agents. For example, if agent X and agent Y are used in a combination, one could administer them sequentially in any combination one or more times, e.g., in the order X-Y-X, X-X-Y, Y-X-Y, Y- Y-X, X-X-Y-Y, etc.

Dosage

[69] In some embodiments where a compound A or B is used in combination with an other agent for a treatment protocol, the composition may be administered together or in a "dual- regimen" wherein the two therapeutics are dosed and administered separately. When the compound A or B and the additional agent are dosed separately, the typical dosage administered to the subject in need of the treatment is typically from about 5 mg per day and about 5000 mg per day and, in other embodiments, from about 50 mg per day and about 1000 mg per day. Other dosages may be from about 10 mmol up to about 250 mmol per day, from about 20 mmol to about 70 mmol per day or even from about 30 mmol to about 60 mmol per day.

[70] The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds of the invention and/or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof will be regulated according to the judgment of the attending clinician considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the symptoms being treated. Effective dosage amounts of the disclosed compounds, when used for the indicated effects, range from about 0.5 mg to about 5000 mg of the disclosed compound as needed to treat the condition. Compositions for in vivo or in vitro use can contain about 0.5, 5, 20, 50, 75, 100, 150, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 2500, 3500, or 5000 mg of the disclosed compound, or, in a range of from one amount to another amount in the list of doses. A typical recommended daily dosage regimen for oral administration can range from about 1 mg/day to about 500 mg/day or 1 mg/day to 200 mg/day, in a single dose, or in two to four divided doses. In one embodiment, the typical daily dose regimen is 150 mg.

[71] Compounds of the present disclosure with or without the additional agent described herein may be administered by any suitable route. The compound can be administrated orally (e.g., dietary) in capsules, suspensions, tablets, pills, dragees, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, and the like. Methods for encapsulating compositions (such as in a coating of hard gelatin or cyclodextran) are known in the art (Baker, et al., "Controlled Release of Biological Active Agents", John Wiley and Sons, 1986, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). The compounds can be administered to the subject in conjunction with an acceptable pharmaceutical carrier as part of a pharmaceutical composition. The formulation of the pharmaceutical composition will vary according to the route of administration selected. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers may contain inert ingredients which do not interact with the compound. The carriers are biocompatible, i.e., non-toxic, non-inflammatory, non-immunogenic and devoid of other undesired reactions at the administration site. [72] Illustrative pharmaceutical compositions are tablets and gelatin capsules comprising a Compound of the Invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as a) a diluent, e.g., purified water, triglyceride oils, such as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, or mixtures thereof, corn oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, fish oils, such as EPA or DHA, or their esters or triglycerides or mixtures thereof, omega-3 fatty acids or derivatives thereof, lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose, sodium, saccharin, glucose and/or glycine; b) a lubricant, e.g., silica, talcum, stearic acid, its magnesium or calcium salt, sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and/or polyethylene glycol; for tablets also; c) a binder, e.g., magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, magnesium carbonate, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, waxes and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone, if desired; d) a disintegrant, e.g., starches, agar, methyl cellulose, bentonite, xanthan gum, algic acid or its sodium salt, or effervescent mixtures; e) absorbent, colorant, flavorant and sweetener; f) an emulsifier or dispersing agent, such as Tween 80, Labrasol, HPMC, DOSS, caproyl 909, labrafac, labrafil, peceol, transcutol, capmul MCM, capmul PG-12, captex 355, gelucire, vitamin E TGPS or other acceptable emulsifier; and/or g) an agent that enhances absorption of the compound such as cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl- cyclodextrin, PEG400, PEG200.

[73] If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described herein, or as known to those skilled in the art.

[74] Since the compounds of this invention (Compounds A and B) are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions a skilled artisan will understand that they can be provided in substantially pure forms for example, at least 60% pure, at least 75% pure, at least 85% pure, and at least 98% pure (w/w). The pharmaceutical preparation may be in a unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into suitably sized unit doses containing appropriate quantities of compounds A or B, e.g., an effective amount to achieve the desired purpose as described herein. Section 1 - Important Structural Comparisons vs. Biological Activity with WO/2008/034008 and WO/2013/184119

[75] WO/2008/034008 describes various kinases that cause or contribute to the pathogenesis of various proliferative diseases, said kinases including BRaf, CRaf, Abl, KDR(VEGFR2), EGFR/HERl, HER2, HER3, c-MET, FLT-3, PDGFR-a, PDGFR- β, p38, c- KIT, JAK2 family. The disclosure of this PCT application explicitly demonstrates selective inhibition toward Braf and CRaf kinases using analogues of Compounds A and B described herein. Concomitantly, WO/2013/184119 describes the inhibition of mutant c-KIT with Compounds A and B. However, WO/2013/184119 also discloses that c-KIT and PDGFRa mutations are mutually exclusive in GIST. This is because most GISTs have primary activating mutations in the genes encoding the closely related RTKs c-KIT (75-80% of GIST) or PDGFRa (8% of the non-c-KIT mutated GIST) in a mutually exclusive manner.

[76] In the present application, the inexorable mutual exclusivity between c-KIT and PDGFRa mutations in GIST patients is reconciled with the finding that Compounds A and B can treat both patient populations. In fact, it has unexpectedly been found that compounds A and B which are known to inhibit c-KIT mutant also inhibit wild-type and oncogenic mutated PDGFR kinases, oncogenic fusion protein forms of PDGFRa kinase, and PDGFRa amplified cancers contrary to the prior disclosures of WO/2008/034008 and WO/2013/184119. The experimental data described below further corroborate this discovery. A direct application of this finding is the treatment of cancer patient sub-populations that express resistant forms of cancers described herein and that are PDGFR-derived.

EXAMPLES

Biological Data

[77] It has been found that compounds A and B unexpectedly inhibit wild-type and oncogenic mutated PDGFR kinases, oncogenic fusion protein forms of PDGFRa kinase, and PDGFRa mutated or amplified cancers. Characterization of this unexpected finding was undertaken in biochemical assays, cellular assays, and in in vivo clinical evaluation in cancer patients.

[78] The disclosure is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not to be construed as limiting this disclosure in scope or spirit to the specific procedures herein described. It is to be understood that the examples are provided to illustrate certain embodiments and that no limitation to the scope of the disclosure is intended thereby. It is to be further understood that resort may be had to various other embodiments, modifications, and equivalents thereof which may suggest themselves to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure and/or scope of the appended claims.

Example 1. Inhibition of wild type PDGFRoc enzyme activity

Biochemical assay for PDGFRa (GenBank Accession Number: NP 006197)

[79] The activity of PDGFRa kinase was determined spectroscopically using a coupled pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase assay that continuously monitors the ATP hydrolysis- dependent oxidation of NADH (e.g., Schindler et al. Science (2000) 289: 1938-1942, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). Assays were conducted in 384-well plates (100 μL final volume) using 4.8 nM PDGFRA (DeCode Biostructures, Bainbridge Island, WA), 5 units pyruvate kinase, 7 units lactate dehydrogenase, 1 mM phosphoenol pyruvate, 0.28 mM NADH, 2.5 mg/mL PolyEY and 0.5 mM ATP in assay buffer (90 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 18 mM MgCh, 1 mM DTT, and 0.2% octyl-glucoside). Inhibition of PDGFRA was measured after adding serial diluted test compound (final assay concentration of 1% DMSO). A decrease in absorption at 340 nm was monitored continuously for 6 hours at 30 °C on a multi-mode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT). The reaction rate was calculated using the 1-2 h time frame. The reaction rate at each concentration of compound was converted to percent inhibition using controls (i.e. reaction with no test compound and reaction with a known inhibitor) and ICso values were calculated by fitting a four-parameter sigmoidal curve to the data using Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA).

Inhibition of PDGFRA D842V was measured after adding serial diluted test compound (final assay concentration of 1% DMSO). A decrease in absorption at 340 nm was monitored continuously for 6 hours at 30 °C on a multi-mode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT). The reaction rate was calculated using the 2-3 h time frame. The reaction rate at each concentration of compound was converted to percent inhibition using controls (i.e. reaction with no test compound and reaction with a known inhibitor) and ICso values were calculated by fitting a four-parameter sigmoidal curve to the data using Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA).

Assays were conducted in 384-well plates (100 μL final volume) using 9 nM PDGFRB (DeCode Biostructures, Bainbridge Island, WA), 5 units pyruvate kinase, 7 units lactate dehydrogenase, 1 mM phosphoenol pyruvate, 0.28 mM NADH, 2.5 mg/mL PolyEY and 0.5 mM ATP in assay buffer (90 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 18 mM MgCh, 1 mM DTT, and 0.2% octyl-glucoside). Inhibition of PDGFRB was measured after adding serial diluted test compound (final assay concentration of 1% DMSO). A decrease in absorption at 340 nm was monitored continuously for 6 hours at 30 °C on a multi-mode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT).

Example 10. Treatment of human cancer patients with PDGFRa D842V mutation [100] The clinical study protocol DCC-2618-01-001 "A Multicenter Phase 1, Open- Label Study of Compound A to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Advanced Malignancies" is the first-in-human study of Compound A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02571036). The objectives of this dose-escalation study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary antitumor activity of Compound A. The study medication is administered orally either once or twice daily at escalating doses within the range from 20 mg BID to 200 mg BID. Preliminary antitumor activity was measured by CT scans according to RECIST 1.1 every other cycle (every 56 days). Pharmacodynamics effects were measured as a reduction in mutation allele frequency (MAF) in plasma cell-free (cf) DNA and analyzed with Guardant 360 v2.9 or v2.10 (Guardant Health, Redwood City, CA), a. 73 -gene next generation sequencing panel.

[101] All patients had to have progressive disease on standard of care treatment and would rapidly progress without treatment. Three patients with PDGFRa-mutated Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) were enrolled in the study. The PDGFRcc D842V mutation was identified in each patient by tumor biopsy. Based on non-clinical data and the available pharmacokinetic data from study DCC-2618-01-001, dose levels of >50 mg BID (daily dose equivalent 100 mg) were sufficient to lead to tumor control i.e. growth arrest in these advanced sarcomas of PDGFRcc D842V mutation-dependent tumors in patients suffering from GIST. Out of 3 evaluable patients, 2 were enrolled at or above target-effective dose levels (150 mg QD and 100 mg BID). The other patient was enrolled at 30 mg BID and progressed after 2 treatment cycles of 28 days. The patient at 100 mg BID is now in Cycle 11 (>40 weeks) and continues to benefit from treatment. The most recent tumor assessment confirmed 'Stable Disease' according to RECIST 1.1. Tumor assessments throughout the study revealed some tumor reduction (5 to 10%) including the most recent one after Cycle 9 (36 weeks). The patient treated at the 150 mg QD dose level is now in Cycle 6 (>20 weeks) with stable disease per RECIST and has some tumor reduction observed. The 2 patients had 1 and 3 prior treatments with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors, respectively.

[102] To date, cfDNA follow up data for PDGFRa D842V mutation allele frequency in plasma are available for the patient at 100 mg BID only. The PDGFRa D842V mutation was not detected by cfDNA at baseline, but at Cycle 3 Day 1 (8 weeks) post-treatment a frequency of 0.59% was detected. While the lack of D842V mutation detection at baseline might limit the ability to interpret the data, the fact that the mutation found in tumor tissue is "undetectable" i.e. below the limit of detection at 2 sequential analyses points (Cycle 5 Day 1 (16 weeks) and Cycle 7 Day 1 (24 weeks)) strongly supports the suppression of this PDGFRa D842V mutation due to treatment of human cancer patients with Compound A.

Example 11. Treatment of a human glioblastoma patient with PDGFRa. amplification

[103] The clinical study protocol DCC-2618-01-001 "A Multicenter Phase 1, Open- Label Study of Compound A to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Advanced Malignancies" is the first-in-human study of Compound A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02571036). The objectives of this dose-escalation study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary antitumor activity of Compound A. The study medication is administered orally either once or twice daily at escalating doses within the range from 20 mg BID to 200 mg BID. Preliminary antitumor activity was measured by CT scans according to RANO (Revised Assessment in Neuro- Oncology) criteria every other cycle followed by after every 3"¹ cycle (every 56 or 84 days). Pharmacodynamic effects were measured as a reduction in circulating tumor cells (CTC). Whole blood was enriched for CTCs in an OncoQuick tube. The CTC layer was incubated with an adenovirus that replicates and expresses GFP in cells with high levels of telomerase (Oncolys BioPharma Inc.). Cells were then incubated with fluorescently-labeled antibodies, fixed, and stained with DAPI. Cells positive for DAPI, GFP, PDGFRa and GFAP fluorescence were counted as circulating glioblastoma tumor cells using a BioTek Cytation 5 imager. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is unambiguously attributed to glial cells.

[104] All patients had to have progressive disease on standard of care treatment and would rapidly progress without treatment. One patient with PDGFRa amplified glioblastoma (GBM; 6x amplified, 12 copies) was enrolled in the study at the 20 mg BID dose level. The patient had been treated initially with combined radio-chemotherapy followed by temozolomide alone and progressed after 3 months. The GBM patient is now in cycle 19 (>17 months on study) and continues to benefit from treatment. Since the tumor assessment after Cycle 12 (48 weeks), the patient has a 'Partial Response' according to the RANO criteria. Figure 1 shows the MRI scan at baseline (Figure 1A) and after cycle 12 (Figure 1C). Figure IB provided an additional proof of the tumor reduction after cycle 9.

[105] The relevance of PDGFRa amplification has been assessed in pediatric and adult high-grade astrocytomas (HGA) including glioblastomas. A large study on primary human tissue suggests a significant prevalence of PDGFRa amplified HGA and indicates that PDGFRa amplification increases with grade and is associated with a less favorable prognosis in IDH1 mutant de novo GBMs (Philips et al, Brain Pathol. (2013) 23(5):565-73, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). Dunn et al., provide additional evidence that PDGFRa amplification is a driver genomic alteration for GBM (Dunn et al., Genes Dev. (2012) 26(8):756- 84). Based on these findings, the pharmacodynamic effect, measured as a reduction in CTC observed in the GBM patient following treatment with Compound A, strongly supports that the partial response observed in the GBM patient is a result of treatment of a PDGFRa amplified tumor with Compound A. Double positive CTCs (PDGFRa+ / GFAP+) were first measured at cycle 7 (28 weeks) with a frequency of 2.22 CTCs/mL. The frequency dropped in cycles 13 (52 weeks) and 17 (68 weeks) to 1.11 and 0.58 CTCs/mL, respectively.

Example 12 Compound B is formed biosynthetically after oral administration of Compound A

[106] The clinical study protocol DCC-2618-01-001 "A Multicenter Phase 1, Open- Label Study of Compound A to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Advanced Malignancies" is the first-in-human study of Compound A (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02571036). The objectives of this dose-escalation study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary antitumor activity of Compound A. The study medication is administered orally either once or twice daily at escalating doses within the range from 20 mg BID to 200 mg BID. Oral administration of Compound A to patients leads to systemic exposure of Compound A and biotransformation of Compound A to Compound B by in vivo N-demethylation. For pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, blood samples were obtained on Cycle 1, Day 15 just prior to the morning dose of Compound A and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10-12 hr post-dose. Compound A and its active metabolite, Compound B, were assayed using a validated bioanalytical method. Phoenix WinNonlin version 6.3 was used to analyze plasma concentration versus time data for calculation of standard noncompartmental PK parameters. All PK calculations were completed using the nominal sample collection times.

[107] By way of exemplification, administration of Compound A to a cohort of patients at doses of 150 mg twice daily or 150 mg once daily resulted in Cycle 1 Day 15 steady state exposure to Compound A and also to Compound B as indicated in the Table below.

[108] An oral 150 mg dose of Compound A administered BID (twice daily) to a cohort of 5 patients for 15 days afforded exposure to Compound A with a mean Cmax = 1,500 ng/mL and a mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) = 11,400 ng*h/mL. This 15 day dosing led to biotransformation to Compound B with a mean Cmax = 1,520 ng/mL and a mean AUC = 15,100 ng*h/mL. An oral 150 mg dose of Compound A administered QD (once daily) to a cohort of 4 patients for 15 days afforded exposure to Compound A with a mean Cmax = 861 ng/mL and a mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) = 8,070 ng*h/mL. This 15 day dosing led to biotransformation to Compound B with a mean Cmax = 794 ng/mL and a mean AUC = 8,600 ng*h/mL.
